ABOVE AND BEYOND
2011-2012

Coach Danyelle and her Purple Groupers showed what it
really means to demonstrate the YMCA Core Values- caring, honesty,
respect, and responsibility. This was part of their celebration of
Thanksgiving and a prelude to Thanksgiving training. With
a little bit of competition, these swimmers were motivated to
collect canned goods for those less fortunate. All food items were
donated to the Middle Tyger Community Center's outreach program for
those that need a little extra help. The swimmers were able to
collectively donate over 200 cans. It was amazing to see the kids
get so excited about their group contest and also see them having
fun while helping others. The Purple Group is to be commended by
the other swimmers from YSSC and their families on a job well
done.

This year's YSSC team
theme is AAB which stands for Above and Beyond.
Any swimmer, coach, or parent that knows of an instance where this
effort has been shown can contact Coach Erin at erin.mcconkey@gmail.com to
share with the team and honor that swimmer's efforts.
